It's annoying, but actually the correct way to train them not to, is to ignore them when they do and praise them when they don't. They do it for attention, so any sort of interaction encourages them. Unfortunately, this takes time. And it makes owners look like they are just letting it happen. Edited March 13 by Superjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 From today's experience, overwrapped parcels. I'm all for packages being secure but does it really require a whole roll of parcel tape wrapped round every inch of the parcel?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind, but it's a very relatively small area that speaks it ! You hardly heard it till Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, and Big Brother came along, now it seems every other ****** on TV comes from Tyne/Wearside ! Northern ***** ! Continuity announcers that you can't understand a word of because they have been shoehorned in due to them being Jamaican, Irish, Brummie (insert whatever) to fulfill diversity quotas.

In my experience, the most common misspelling - other than there/their/they're - is loose instead of lose. Or 'too' instead of 'to'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the late 70s early 80s, my mate's brother was in his touring band. Anyway, Cliff had just finished a long tour of North America and Europe and wanted them to take on some extra dates in Australia and New Zealand. The band, who'd all been away from their families for months, all wanted a modest increase to undertake the extra two months involved. Cliff's as tight as a gnat's chuff, so he sacked them all and said he'd undertake the Aussie tour with local musicians. Trouble was, his rep preceded him, and few Aussie session men wanted to work with him; the band he hired didn't know his material and on the first night of the tour they were so shambolic they got booed. Cliff's manager quietly rehired the UK band on the enhanced money they wanted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yes, I’ve seen a couple recently where I genuinely haven’t had a clue. I guessed at one, and at the other I waited to see who came out! Risky though: there’s one or two posters over on a particular thread on the politics forum who’ll have something to say, and likely at inordinate length, if they spot this!

How about this beauty I saw in New York. I just peed in my trousers as it took too long too decide which facility to use. I don’t collect toilet sign photos by the way , contrary to the evidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 People who write or say RIP, when what they should be writing/saying is R.I.P. This also applies to people who say “VAR” like it’s a word, when they should be spelling it out, as it’s three separate words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is interesting, because the Latin for “rest in peace” is “requiescat in pace” and that’s why you’ll still see R.I.P. in some non-English speaking countries. (And in Italian it’s “riposi in pace” - still R.I.P.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
